To all whom it may concern:

in-use.

To enable others skilled,in theart to make scribe its construction andoperation., I 'constrnct my drier of any size and shape. The back B,Figures l and 2, is made of a flat piece of wood to which is attachedswi nging piece A, by means of hnges c c. The-arms D are fastcned at oneend in slots E in swinging piece A, by means of two pieces of metal,F F,forming a clamp and holding the said arm firmly in their places. Whennot in use the arms are folded against'the back B, and are en trely outof the way. When wanted for use, raise the arms to a horizontal positionand fasten by means of book H andstaple I. It will be seen that a largeamount of dryingsurface is obtained by this arrangement, and in a smallspace.
